Phoenix Military Divorce Attorney 

Information about Military Divorce

Divorce is frequently a complicated and nuanced process, and it can become even more so when either or both of the spouses involved are in the military.  There are certain rules and regulations that must be strictly adhered to in a military divorce under Arizona state law.  While many of the issues addressed are similar to civilian divorce cases, military divorces must account for the Uniformed Services Former Spouse Protection Act (USFSPA).  The USFSPA dictates how retirement pay, health benefits, and eligibility for commissary are treated in a divorce case.  Other related issues are also affected by this act, including child custody, child support, visitation rights, and alimony.  If you are filing for divorce, and either you or your spouse is in the military, it is highly advised that you hire a Phoenix divorce attorney, who can assist you in all aspects of military divorce, including:

• The initiation of the 6-month waiting period before the divorce is considered legal
• Asset/property division
• Calculating you or your spouse's military income and accurately drafting agreements
• Issues related to child support or custody modifications due to illness or relocation
• Development of a custodial arrangement that allows for frequent contact between a spouse and their child (or children)
• Assistance with child support matters while you or your spouse is deployed
